Škoda Tour

The Škoda Owner's Club of Great Britain has been in existence for 45 years, founded by the late Roy Desborough.

The club exists to help members obtain the greatest benefit from their cars. The club welcomes enthusiasts as well as owners of all types of Škodas that include the Octavia and Felicia, the first Škodas to be imported into the UK after WW", through the rear - engined MB and S series, Estelle and Rapid models of the Communist era, to the modern Octavia, Fabia, Superb and Roomster.

A quarterly magazine is published giving the latest technical advice on keeping the cars in first rate order, reports and photos on Club activities, answering queries and exchanging ideas through members own letters.

A National Committee, elected at the AGM conducts the day to day affairs and is responsible for co-ordinating the programme of events. These include hotel weekends, camping rallies, day visits and track days. The Club also has close links with other East European Car Clubs and takes part in joint events.

There are local Sections within the Club and they organise events within their areas and produce their own newsletters. These sections provide opportunities for members to meet locally within relatively short driving distances.

Every year Škoda owners from all over Northern and Eastern Europe gather, usually in the last week of June, for the annual International Tour. These events are organised by Škoda owners supported by Škoda AS in the Czech Republic and local dealers in the host country. In the past, Tours have been organised by clubs in England, Germany, Denmark as well as the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Homepage
